Engine Burning Oil Problems of Dodge Ram 1500

I noticed that when I started my truck after it had been cold for a while that blue/white smoke would briefly come out of the tailpipe. I noticed it several times and took it to the dealership who said they couldn't find anything. It still did it intermittently. I then noticed that my oil level was low, and the oil pressure sensor went out. I had the oil pressure sensor replaced under warranty and added oil. Based on the excessive oil consumption, smoke, and oil pressure sensor going bad, I think there's something wrong with the engine. All my problems have been oil related!.

My 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4. 7 liter engine with 64000 mile oil pressure dropped suddenly without warning, cause was determined by Dodge dealership to be "sludge" in engine, voiding my 70000 mile warranty, daimler Chrysler assuming I did not maintain my engine properly, although I change oil myself usually every 4500 miles (book says 6000) and use best heavy duty filter. Provided some "official" oil change receipts from popular quick oil change facility but that was not enough to enforce warranty. Found thousands of same stories for my 4. 7, Dodge's 2. 7 and other engines over the internet. Dodge is one of the last hold outs as far as Toyota, and other automobile manufacturers to pony up on poor engine design and new, lighter engines having more heat and more change of oil burn or "oil get" resulting in sludge even with 100% provable maintenance. Under other circumstances, engines "blow" or "burn up" suddenly and that is not only as expensive as mine to fix ($4000 to $6000 repair) but dangerous to the occupants and public as well. More frequent oil changes and system flushes, or change to synthetic oil may help prevent or delay situation, but Dodge has not released any such information to help or warn consumers. Problem will only get worse as more Dodge and chrsyler 1999 to 2005 engines reach mileage condition occurs (57000 to 77000, some as early as 20000).

Purchased vehicle with 49,000 miles on it August 2002 since it has been back to the dealer a minumum of 7 times brakes wore out and in to the drums, check engine light on engine not running properly and 5 times for transmission problems not one time has the vehicle been repaired other than for brakes which I had to threaten with a complaint to the state police because of having a new inspection sticker on the vehicle iam still having problems with transmission was told needed a new unit now since out of warranty even though I have documentation it was having problems be fore warranty ran out; now I was told that the performance and runnibility and oil consumption problem is due to a intake gasket failure. A real piece of quality junk Dodge is putting out. Maybe thats why they went away from their 7/70000 mile warranty on these models.
